You know. Outside of age I don’t see what would technically stop them.It's time for Wall and Boogie to come finish their last 3 years of college eligibility now!
They've opened the door to all kinds of unimaginable litigations now. There's no telling what college athletics will look like in another 10-20 years.You know. Outside of age I don’t see what would technically stop them.
Pretty much.

May be the death of dynasties.Pretty much.
exactly. some may become used-to-be’s.May be the death of dynasties.
student athlete is now officially dead. college athletes are now employees/contractors.With that should come the criticism that comes with athlete's. No more “they are only student athletes”
This has been the inevitable endpoint of the past 40 years of turning amateur athletics into a billion dollar industry.

Literally no one knows. Best case scenario is a that the NCAA/Power 5 reaches a collective bargaining agreement with the players like the NFL and NBA has. But it will take a long time.Just curious how the universities will pay out? How will that work?
It's weird to me. They're grown ass men.With that should come the criticism that comes with athlete's. No more “they are only student athletes”
Greed is good….to a degree. It’s ok to be a little selfish. What we are seeing in America now is insatiable greed. Soaring corporate profits and now this. I’m all for capitalism. But damn our priorities are eight now up. Companies are sucking America dry and not putting back into it like they used too.Ed OBannon started all this. Wonder how much he got for bringing this to "light". Players should be paid something but there has to be a reworking of all this somehow. One thing that will never change though is the peoples lust for money. And it's getting worse as time goes by.
All the NCAA had to do decades ago as let players make money off of gear. They said no. Now here we are. NCAA killed college sports. I up they go bankrupt. They effing deserve it.I'm about done with it. I gave up on pro sports because of the greed. Not really wanting to go through this crap with college now. When's the first strike going to happen? They should have just let college stay the way it was and if you didn't like it, go play in a developmental league or overseas. Nothing was stopping that. I hope the whole system comes crashing down.
This is a good thing

I’m middle aged. An 18 year old is a kid to me. And sec a kid to someone in their 70s.It's weird to me. They're grown ass men.
We've only very recently started referring to 18-20 year olds as 'kids'
I’m happy players are getting paid, I just wonder how these smaller colleges survive.Greed is good….to a degree. It’s ok to be a little selfish. What we are seeing in America now is insatiable greed.

I say this to my buddies all the time and they laugh, but I could try as hard as I could to "get off the grid" and live off the land with very little money and I'd be happy. Outside of time with my family, nothing makes me happier than driving way out in the middle of nowhere to camp, hike, and fish and have no phone service/internet. I think everyone needs to take breaks like this. Recharge those batteries.Greed is good….to a degree. It’s ok to be a little selfish. What we are seeing in America now is insatiable greed.

Sadly it’s damn hard to truly go of grid anymore and not be travel or bothered. Government and companies own everything. I’m not a sovereign nutjob or anything but it’s just wild how much we just can’t do. Wanna build soemthing? Permit, taxes. Hell I’ve seen some places where if you just want to buy a pool at like Walmart (just some cheap above ground thing) cites want you to buy a permit. To build on your own damn property.I say this to my buddies all the time and they laugh, but I could try as hard as I could to "get off the grid" and live off the land with very little money and I'd be happy.

Colleges and fans are complicit in this. Integrity means nothing.They've opened the door to all kinds of unimaginable litigations now. There's no telling what college athletics will look like in another 10-20 years.
I completely, completely empathize and relate to you on this.Sadly it’s damn hard to truly go of grid anymore and not be travel or bothered. Government and companies own everything.

Sick of it man. Sick of it. Being a cave hermit sounds better every day.
I'm not. College athletics was set up so that you exchanged your skills (ie basketball) for a free education, and some players hoped to be good enough to be drafted out of college. Others wanted to finish their education and go professional in something other than basketball, or maybe get into coaching. That's how it was founded. But GREED, ENTITLEMENT and SELFISHNESS.I’m happy players are getting paid, I just wonder how these smaller colleges survive.
Nah, no way should the universities be the only ones making money (and lots of it too) without a dime going to the athletes.I'm not.

That money at least partially went to maintaining and upgrading facilities, paying teacher salaries, and other things. Sports was a funding source for those things.Nah, no way should the universities be the only ones making money (and lots of it too) without a dime going to the athletes.
Gonna be interesting
My wife was 20 when she and I got our first mortgage. I was an old man of 23.It's weird to me. They're grown ass men.

You don't get it. This IS the lawsuit.They've opened the door to all kinds of unimaginable litigations now. There's no telling what college athletics will look like in another 10-20 years.
